A quick definition of church law:

Church law, also known as canon law, is a set of rules and regulations that govern the practices and beliefs of a particular religious tradition. It was first compiled in the 12th to 14th centuries and has since grown and evolved. In the Western world, it is now codified in the Codex Juris Canonici of 1983. The canon law has had a significant influence on the development of English law, as many judges in the early Middle Ages were ecclesiastics familiar with its doctrines. In England, it is defined as the law that regulates the affairs of the Church of England.

A more thorough explanation:

Church law, also known as canon law, is a body of law developed within a particular religious tradition. It is a set of rules and regulations that govern the practices and beliefs of a particular church or religious organization.

One example of church law is the Codex Juris Canonici, which is a compilation of western ecclesiastical law that was first compiled in the 12th century. It has been updated over time and is now codified in the 1983 version, replacing the 1918 version.

Another example of church law is the law of the Church of England, which regulates the affairs of the Church of England. This includes rules about the appointment of bishops, the conduct of church services, and the management of church property.

These examples illustrate how church law is specific to each religious tradition and can vary widely between different churches and religious organizations.
